======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGESTION: DON'T INDUCE VOMITING. IF CONSCIOUS/GIVE LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER/IF POSSIBLE DILUTE VINEGAR/LEMON/ORANGE/OTHER
CITRIC JUICES TO NEUTRALIZE THE AMMONIA. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
FRESH AIR/GIV E OXYGEN/CPR IF NEEDED. KEEP CALM & RESTING. SKIN:
APPLY WATER IMMEDIATELY TO AREA & CONTINUE FOR 15 MINS. DON'T APPLY
SALVES/OINTMENT TO AREA. (SEE SUPP)
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Lower Limits:16

Extinguishing Media:WATER SPRAY, FOG TYPE STREAMS. CHEMICAL/CO2 SHOULD
BE USED ON SMALL FIRES ONLY.
Fire Fighting Procedures:APPROACH UPWIND & EVACUATE DOWNWIND. STOP FLOW
OF LIQUID. USE WATER TO KEEP FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL. WEAR
SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:PRESENCE OF OIL/OTHER COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS WILL INCREASE THE FIRE HAZARD. AUTOIGNITION TEMP. 1560F.
(SEE SUPP)
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:STOP THE FLOW. WEAR SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
